Tim Beadle’s Summary

Programming experience:
* 9 years' JavaScript
* 8 years' ColdFusion
* 5 years' Perl
* 2 year's Java/JSP (Struts)
* hobbyist PHP
* SQL (MySQL, PostgreSQL)

I have an excellent attention to detail, and strive to make web sites that are semantically rich, valid to w3c specifications and highly accessible but with a rich user experience.

I have a working knowledge of Microformats, and a thorough knowledge of Web Standards-based (HTML and CSS) approaches to web page layout.

I advocate a Progressive Enhancement approach: starting with valid, meaningful markup (HTML) and adding style (CSS) and behaviour (JavaScript) as appropriate for the user agent accessing the page in question.

Pages' content should always be viewable by text-only user agents (e.g. Lynx), assistive technology (e.g. screen readers or adaptive braille devices) for disabled people and (rather importantly) search engine robots (e.g. Googlebot).

Tim Beadle’s Specialties:

Interest and experience in accessibility, usability and user experience.
